Shooting of ‘Tannu Weds Mannu’ cancelled due to protests by locals


Seems the problems for Kangana Ranaut-Madhavan starrer “Tannu Weds Mannu” never ceases to end. First it was Kangana’s injury which set the shoot of the film to a halt and now another shooting schedule planned in a mosque in this Punjab town had to be cancelled owing to the protests by the local residents. The shooting had to be cancelled on the orders of Kapurthala deputy commissioner Rajkamal Chaudhary.
A police official reported, “Members of the film unit had started installing the sets inside the mosque Friday night. On seeing this, members of Muslim community gathered outside the mosque and started raising slogans against the administration and the filmmakers. They threatened to interrupt the shooting as it would allegedly affect their religious sentiments.”
The movie is produced by Shailesh Singh and directed by Anand Malhotra. Besides Kangana and Madhavan, the movie also has Jimmy Shergill in an important role.
